Francesca Lo Russo

Francesca Lo Russo has a warm and collaborative approach. Her areas of specialty include: depression, anxiety, trauma, creativity, LGBTQ, and sexuality. She is committed to paying close attention to how experiences of structural oppression impact mental health and works with individuals from all cultural backgrounds. She has co-lead a Dialectical Behavior Therapy group and employs mindfulness and distress tolerance skills training in individual sessions to those who seek it.

Francesca uses a psychodynamic approach, which seeks to help patients develop an awareness for how the past affects present emotions, behaviors and thought patterns. She believes that people are capable of change and greater fulfillment when they become able to develop an awareness of these patterns. Francesca is dedicated to helping adults learn to work through unintegrated feelings and internalized stories so that they may cultivate kindness and curiosity toward themselves.
